Formigine, which is being born with Gabriele Castelli at the helm (there should be two other partners at his side) has also made the management team official: Gino Mambelli will be the general director, Alessandro Ghidini the sporting director and Vincenzo Pepe the technical director. With a month behind the other teams, it is a race against time to build a squad that can perform well in Eccellenza, a mix of many young people and some experts in key roles. One of these is Federico Davoli, a midfielder born in 1989 and from Formigine who comes to Montecchio for the last two years after many seasons in D (143 games and 9 goals between Correggesse and Castelvetro) and top championships with Cittadella and Vianese. In attack it’s now done for Andrea Crispino, the 2005 striker who scored 12 goals with Nextgen in his first year with the big boys after his stint in Modena. There was also contact with Francesco Stanco (’87), who does not remain at Terre di Castelli and in addition to the Giulianova option (if he is fished out in D) he has the option of playing Eccellenza still close to home. Another 4 hits are already certain: the two former Castelfranchesi defenders Matteo Laruccia (’97) and Giacomo Savino (2003) and the attackers Simone Bellentani (2004) from Cittadella and Giacomo Masoch (2004 from Pavullo). Among the few who have not yet settled elsewhere in the season that has just ended, Ghidini will soon speak with Pappaianni, Ashong and Cornia, while 6-7 young players should remain including the 2006 midfielder Lorenzo Marverti and the 2005 striker Benedict Opoku. The team, which will obviously play at “Pincelli”, will train in Ubersetto and perhaps Saliceta.
The others. In Eccellenza two hits for Terre di Castelli, which signed Alberto Barbolini from Castelfranco and the central Said Chmangui (’96) ex Castenaso, Mezzolara, Alfonsine and Progresso (more than 200 tokens in D) protagonist in the last two years of the “miracle ” Corticella with the two playoffs achieved. Precisely in the final against Ravenna in May he was sent off for an alleged racist remark to Diallo from Ravenna which cost him a 10 match ban, later reduced to 8 on appeal and therefore he will only be available from November. In Prima Mirandolese confirmed defender Errico. In closing, a curiosity: in Terza at Monari Nasi enters as a manager in the youth sector Giuseppe Fazio, for years sports director and “mind” of Modena Cavezzo, brought from C2 up to A2 Elite futsal, before the farewell for family reasons of some month ago.
